There are many influential minds that have made a huge inspirational impact on society and the 21st century. Louis Armstrong changed the culture of American musical figures to the public. In my opinion he has had outstanding artistic achievement and is one of the people in the world that can be accounted for making a difference. His work actually proceeds the growing interest in civil rights change. Louis Armstrong is most known for his work of Jazz. Just the nature of music and Jazz was valued more everywhere (Merod, 2011).There was an attitude shift when his music went worldwide, people where more self-asserted and motivated by him. There was a widespread stretch of knowledge of creativity all around the world causing a growing interest in African-American creativity. He strategically worked his way up and was capable of maintaining his composure in the hall of celebrities. According to research, “Armstrong pointed a way out of the rabbit hole in which music in the first decades of the twentieth century was snuggly enclosed, mostly as danceable entertainment, and only that, a diversion within the orderly world of labor’s anxiety and capital’s boredom” which is a hard thing to do in my opinion (Merod, 2011).

By discussing what he has accomplished it will explain why he is considered to be so important to his type of music.

It is no question that the Beatles were, and still could be, the most iconic rock band of all time. The “Fab Four” included John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr. The legendary rock group formed in Liverpool, England in nineteen-sixty. Their music, hairstyle, fashion, and lifestyle were mimicked world-wide, resulting in a phenomenon known as Beatlemania. Their popularity brought them to write a total of four hundred and nine songs before the band split in nineteen-seventy. I’d say that’s a pretty impressive number for only ten years performing together.
